On appearance only, that chicken could score much higher if it weren't black. It may taste great, but the appearance score would likely suffer.

I agree that chicken skin can be rubbery but how the cook deals with that is part of what judging. A good cook can smoke chicken, present it crispy or tender (bite through) and should be rewarded for it.
